Educational Systems FCU recognized for 10 years of sponsoring the Prince George’s County Spelling Bee

GREENBELT, MD (May 13, 2015) — Educational Systems Federal Credit Union has been proud to sponsor the Prince George’s County Spelling Bee for the past decade. On April 17, Chauka K. Reid of The Gazette and Star-Gazette presented Chris Conway, President/CEO of Educational Systems FCU, with a trophy and certificate of appreciation to recognize the Credit Union for a decade of sponsorship and support of the Prince George’s County Spelling Bee.

“Educational Systems FCU is the perfect partner for the Prince George’s County Spelling Bee because of their focus on education,” remarked Chauka K. Reid. Chris Conway agreed saying, “For us it’s an honor to support education. We are proud to be the Title Sponsor of the Prince George’s County Spelling Bee and hope to continue our partnership into the future.”

The Spelling Bee challenges middle school students to spell words correctly until the competition is narrowed to one winner who then competes in the Scripps National Spelling Bee held this year May 24 to 29 at the Gaylord National Resort at the National Harbor in Prince George’s County. The 2015 Prince George’s County Spelling Bee was won by Tamya Matthews from Mount Calvary Catholic School. She won by spelling the word waterzooi, which is a word of Dutch origin meaning fish stew.

Educational Systems FCU (esfcu.org) has proudly served the education community for nearly 60 years. With $787 million in assets and 12 branches, the Credit Union serves nearly 90,000 members in seven school systems and three community colleges throughout Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, Montgomery, Prince George’s, St. Mary’s and Talbot counties.
